1. Populist and Libertarian are not mutually exclusive.
they need to find a different nice way to say "authroitarian"

and "hard core" has some implications of fanaticism.

and in terms of global politics, Dennis Kucinich is pretty mainstream.

2. Change "moderate" to "conservative" in a few cases
and you'll have a better case for that particular spectrum.

4. Number 6 is wrong, so is # 3.
6 Hillary Clinton is a Hard Core Liberal

No she is not. Hillary is Right of Center, even farther than her husband, therefore can not be a hard core Liberal.

How can Hillary be a hard core Liberal if Dennis Kucinich is also? Dennis is a true Liberal and far to the left of Hillary.

Joseph Lieberman is a Moderate Conservative.

5. Most are wrong but one is extremely wrong
Lieberman is a hardcore a$$h*le. Other than that "hardcore" sounds vaguely pejorative and few are actually liberal
